  • graphics
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising its unique art style and beautiful steampunk design, while others criticize it for being unpleasing and reminiscent of its mobile origins. Many users highlight the improved graphical quality over the mobile version, but some express frustration with the game's low graphical demands and confusing requirements. Overall, the visuals are appreciated by those who enjoy the aesthetic, but they may not meet the expectations of PC gamers seeking higher standards.

    • “Great flying simulator game - first of all I was surprised with the graphics, that are not only done properly, work smoothly, but are kept in steampunk style - I can say this is great design, and nothing to add to it.”
    • “The art style is superb and conveys the unique world of floating islands very nicely, and it's accompanied with very nice, chill music.”
    • “If you like steampunk or beautiful graphics, you should buy this one!”
    • “Honestly, it's a mundane, graphically unpleasing game.”
    • “So the game shows its mobile port roots in terms of both graphics and grind.”
    • “Cute, pretty graphics; unfortunately, the rest is a mobile game with checkpoints that attempt to make you pay them money.”
  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as interesting but ultimately lacking depth, with some players finding it threadbare and poorly translated. While it features a basic plot involving a mailman who encounters pirates, the storytelling is criticized for being intrusive and poorly executed, often relying on awkward text prompts. Despite these shortcomings, the engaging art and music, along with bite-sized missions, contribute to an enjoyable experience for mobile gameplay.

    • “Everything seems to be worked out properly - a plot, a story, heroes, enemies, power-ups, obstacles - definitely recommend - enjoyed playing and will play more.”
    • “+ a good story where you begin as a mailman, and end up finding yourself fleeing from pirates, and having wild adventures.”
    • “Meanwhile, enjoy 20 different levels in the story mode and limitless missions from friends you are going to meet during the game, upgrade your ship and discover the mysteries of the malicious marauders.”
    • “It's kind of like a runner except it's mission-based as opposed to endless and it has a story, though it's pretty threadbare and also poorly translated.”
    • “Story: might as well be none, in a forced cinematic you literally bump into an airship and there's just a captain and no crew apparently who's like 'oh you're going to this place let me lead you!' and then is like 'my engine's broken' and I immediately stopped caring.”
    • “- intrusive, downright lazy attempts at storytelling.”
  • music
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its calming and refreshing soundtrack, enhancing the overall experience with nice sound effects. However, some players expressed a desire for a larger variety of songs, noting that the limited selection can become repetitive, particularly with an annoying loop in the menu. Overall, the music complements the game's beautiful artwork and unique atmosphere effectively.

    • “The art style is superb and conveys the unique world of floating islands very nicely, and it's accompanied with very nice, chill music.”
    • “The sounds of the game are great; it has a calm and refreshing soundtrack, and the sound effects are okay for the game.”
    • “Game has pretty peaceful music.”
    • “And there is this annoying 5 second repeated music in the menu screen.”
    • “Game has a pretty peaceful music.”
    • “Soundtrack is calm and relaxing.”
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its creative concepts but suffers from a slow pace and repetitiveness, leading to a lack of challenge. While it features smooth 60fps performance and responsive controls, the simplistic mechanics and poorly designed enemies detract from the overall experience. Players can complete the short adventure in one sitting, and although there are no in-game purchases, the free-to-play roots are evident in some design choices.

    • “This is a game that clearly has free-to-play roots from mobile as some mechanics like timers are still in this (though made so fast, they're utterly pointless) but there are no in-game purchases whatsoever and you're given plenty of currency and can finish the entire 3-4 hour adventure in one sitting if you want.”
    • “5) Smooth 60fps gameplay & responsive controls.”
    • “Simple, but immersive gameplay.”
    • “Repetitive gameplay.”
    • “Also the sense of difficulty is non-existent due to the slow gameplay, and if you run into any difficulty it’s due to the limitation of the controls and generally poorly designed enemies. However, if you do struggle, you can spend that good ol’ premium currency and revive yourself!”
    • “This is a game that clearly has free-to-play roots from mobile, as some mechanics like timers are still in this (though made so fast, they're utterly pointless). There are no in-game purchases whatsoever, and you're given plenty of currency, allowing you to finish the entire 3-4 hour adventure in one sitting if you want.”

While some mechanics reminiscent of mobile games, such as timers, remain, they are implemented in a way that does not detract from the experience. Overall, players appreciate the absence of microtransactions, contrary to initial concerns.

    • “Sky to Fly only costs $4 and has no microtransactions.”
    • “It's not too hard and I have yet to find the microtransactions the negative reviewers are talking about.”
    • “Seriously, it really is just like... microtransactions: the game.”
    • “Many formerly free-to-play mobile games that port to PC either leave the microtransactions in or jack up the price to an absurd level to avoid them.”
    • “This is a game that clearly has free-to-play roots from mobile as some mechanics like timers are still in this (though made so fast, they're utterly pointless) but there are no in-game purchases whatsoever and you're given plenty of currency and can finish the entire 3-4 hour adventure in one sitting if you want.”
